What have you given up for your country? Now is the time to come to the aid of the Liberty Bond campaign. If you love your wife and children and your home, buy Liberty Bonds. Don’t stand back and wait for the other fellow to. buy Liberty Bonds. Set the example yourself. The war has benefited southern farmers tremendously. They are re ceiving attractive prices for not only cotton but all other crops. They should buy liberally of Liberty Bonds. The spectacle of a southern farmer seeking a card to buy wheat is a com mentary on our system of agriculture. If the southern farmer wants wheat he should produce it on his own farm. Germany has already figured the indemnity she will levy to pay her war debt. If Germany wins God save America. She will not win if every man does his duty. Buy Liberty Bonds. When the war is over the man who has a Liberty Bond will be mighty proud of it. He will have a sure and safe investment and best of all he will have the satisfaction of knowing he helped his country. Let’s get down to brass tacks and subscribe Butts county’s share of the Liberty Bonds and be over with it. The bonds should have been taken the first day. Why hum and haw and de lay? The bonds must be bought or we will be financial slackers. Are you ready to line up for your coun try? i Just u number of people are willing to take anything the government gives them—good roads, better sani tation, increased educational facilities, liberty, freedom and the pursuit of pleasure—but are not willing to do a solitary thing for the government. In fact a lot of people are hogs and don’t realize it. The mills of the gods grind slow but exceedingly fine. After a year of preparation the United States will soon be in a position to throw her full strength into the war. It is not a question of how the war will end— for we must wen or lose all—but how soon will the war end. Your co-ope ration will help end fh'e war and bring back our boys from Europe. [ Are you not willing to do something to help in this great crisis? Buy Lib- 1 erty Bonds. THE JACKSON PP.OCRSSS-/JCUS. -V-—ON. CCCT.C-A. !y!RY. APRIL 19. ISIS BUTTS COUNTY MUST GET BUSY The campaign for Batts coanty’s quota of $161,800 of Liberty Bonds is not progressing in a way to insure success. There is a punch lacking some where. We read that other towns and cities subscribed and oversubscribed their allotment the first day. This has not been true here. With the exception of the first day or two the campaign has lacked push and driving povier. Possibly a third of the county’s quota has been subscribed. If we are to go aver the top we must put more driv ing power behind the campaign. Co-operation and concentration seems to be thing necessary. The county chairman has been left large ly to manage the campaign. He has done well—has done all that one man could do under the conditions. He has not, however, received the support of the executive committee in the manner it should have been extended. The local committee is a strong one, composed of substantial and well known business and professional men and farmers. Members of the commit tee are either to busy with their own affairs or entirely indifferent to give the matter the consideration its im portance demands. This is no time to pursue selfish and business ends while the nation’s business is allowed to suffer. The United States must have the money to carry on the war. The country is going to have the money. Nobody need worry over that fact. The big question is V4 ; ll the people buy bonds or will they be taxed to raise the mtfney? Butts county's quota is not large in proportion to her wealth and resour ces. People are finding money enough to invest in other things. When pleas ure is concerned, when selfish pur poses are involved, the money is forthcoming. Now it is the cuntry’s callj that we must heed. To fall down on our quota will be a shame and disgrace. The bonds must be bought. We must buy them for patriotic and business reasons. We must buy them to show our hearts are in the war and that we are back ing up our boys over there in the trenches. We must buy them even if it pinches—and God knows nobody around here has made any real sac rifices yet for the country. It is up to the people of Butts county to get behind the Liberty Bond campaign with all their might and power. It is up to the executive com mittee to back up their county chair man. It is up to the members of the committee to take a few hours—or days—-from their business and stop chasing the dollar long enough to put the deal through. If our armies at the front were made up of the same stuff as some of us back home they might throw down their guns and run when they see the Germans. But the boys over there w-ill do their duty, whether that duty leads to glory or the grave. Will the people back home do their duty? Let’s shuck off our coats and roll up our sleeves, every mother’s son of us, and stay with this campaign un til our quota is subscribed. The attitude of the people back home has a great effect on the soldiers at the front. In fact the war will be won by the civillian population that holds out the longest. Are you doing anything to support and cheer the boys in the trenches? If not, what sort of an American are you? In a stinging editorial, “Slacker Stain," The Macom Telegraph hit the Macon tightwads who refuse to buy Liberty Bonds. Macon and At lanta, both of which have army camps, should, of all cities in the country, buy Liberty Bonds gener j ously. These camps have meant much to these cities. So William Schley Howard has en tered the senatorial race. He is an other “administration” candidate. When W. D. Upshaw said this was a “mule race," he spoke a parable. Perhaps donkey race would be better. A lot of the small fry must be weeded out. Georgia needs her big men in the senate. A lot of minnows are nib bling at the bait. The entries have not closed yet and other candidates are likely to enter the free-for-all at any time. Investigations by the department of Agiculture in 15 states show that of a total of 6,836,492 sheep, 34,683 were killed by dogs in one year and vore paid for by the counties. WHAT A RECORD TO DEFEND Senator T. W. Hardwick run “on .'general principles’’ but he can hardly afford to run on his record. To think that he succeeded a man like Senator A. O. Bacon, one of the towering figures in the senate, and one of Georgia’s most profound states men of the last generation. And to think that he announced for Senator Bacon’s seat almost before the dis tinguished senator’s body was cold in death. How can Senator Hardwick justify his position on the parcel post? How can he explain his vote on the sugar question? Has’nt he all along shown that he was friendly to the express and railroad companies and the steel trust? Senator Hardwick pays no tax in Georgia except a professional tax. Possibly he has been friendly with these “interests” for campaign expenses. And now he is found lined up against President Wilson and the forces fighting for the liberty and freedom of the world. Can he justify that position before the honest man hood of Georgia? Will our voters, who have sons and brothers in the conflict stand to have treason flaunt ed in their faces. Calling people who disagree with him “common, ordinary liars” will not get the junior senator anything. This year he must answer to the peo ple. There will not be a steam roller convention to put him through. He must meet the issue squarely. The voters will not be blinded by abuse and vituperation. He must stand or fall by his record. What a record to defend! LIBERTY AND LABOR The hope of labor lies in the oppor tunities for freedom; military domi nation, supervision, checks, bondage, lie in Prussian rule. It is not through a German regime but through democracy that labor is to receive adequate recognition and its realization of its rightful place in the world. you CAN’T FiNO ANY DANDRUFF, AND HAIR STOPS COMING OUT Save Your Hair!

A small trial bottle will double the beauty of your hair. advt. THE BIGGEST KNOCK TO JACK SON Down at the Southern Railway sta tion is a little plot of ground of a few square feet, directly across the entrance to the station, which seems to be a little trap set for unsuspecting strangers, who are held up and fleeced by the station agent and a city po liceman, because they unconsciously set foot on this precious plot covered with manure. The plot has no fence or legible warning. If the city gov ernment is aware of this it must in deed be hard pressed with funds to collaborate with the station agent in a hold-up of such puny proportions. The writer who was here on a visit to parents and friends was caught in the little trap and relieved by the station agent and a policeman and has since learned that he is by no means the only victim of this hold-up of the a.range* within yojir gates.
